Phunny country! (part2)

After literally endorsing Ms.Prathiba's name for presidency, Mr.Kalam does a volte-face and decides to contest for a second term, but on the condition of "certainty" (not to be confused with consensus among opposition parties) that he will win. The NDA and the UNPA meet up and try to arrive at a "certainty" but fall woefully short of it. Mr.Kalam realises his blunder and voluntarily withdraws from the race.
Mr.Kalam was probably tempted to try for a second term, going by the overwhelming public response in favor of it. But he should've known better than to trust our politicians to back him.
